Hi all,

In the end, I managed to "re-study" the drive detection DOS routines, and mange to compose a small unit, that is able to distinguish between CD, HD, FD, net, ram, substed and doublespace-compressed drives.

It works for me now, and has been put into a clear pascal source file. Let me know if you want to use it or give it a try. I would also be happy to contribute it for whatever "official" stuff or package were it could be used (for some reason, Marco's original routines at EDOS don't work for me, but as I haven't heard any other feedback, I don't know if it was just me, or there is a small bug or whatever in EDOS; should my unit be neccessary, please, ask for it, unfortunately, I don't have much time to write up a page and website to post it).

(Marco: it looks now clearer, if you want to have a look at them).

I'd be interested in a look. Where can I get a copy?

is it ok if I send you an attachment? I can't maintain one more page for my freepascal stuff yet ;-))

Yes, to me personally. ()

Ok, as it is so small, I have risked to send the files (unless I messed them up). I say this as some people don't like attachments.

Take care,

Thanks... I'll check it out.
